Green Mountain Town

Nalan Yanran's group soon left the Xiao Family. After watching them go, Xiao Yan asked Xiao Yun, "Uncle, why did you want Nalan Yanran and me to fight at the Misty Cloud Sect?"

On the Dou Qi Continent, strength reigned supreme. Both Xiao Yan and Nalan Yanran agreed with Xiao Yun's proposal, but Xiao Yan did not understand why Xiao Yun had chosen the Misty Cloud Sect as the place for their fight.

That was Nalan Yanran's home ground, a place with a Dou Emperor expert. Xiao Yan was not afraid of Nalan Yanran; he was confident he could fight her even now. But if the Misty Cloud Sect could not accept defeat three years later, he would be in serious trouble inside their sect.

"The Misty Cloud Sect is Nalan Yanran's home ground. Defeating her there—wouldn't that feel especially satisfying, Little Yan?" Xiao Yun explained with a smile.

Xiao Yan naturally understood that, but he asked worriedly, "But that's the Misty Cloud Sect. They have a Dou Emperor expert overseeing the place. Getting up there will be easy, but getting back down may not be."

Xiao Yun patted Xiao Yan's shoulder and smiled. "What are you afraid of? Three years from now, I'll go to the Misty Cloud Sect with you. No one will be able to harm you."

Xiao Zhan walked to Xiao Yan's side and said confidently with a smile, "Yan'er, just go to the Misty Cloud Sect without worry three years from now. They have a Dou Emperor expert, and so does the Xiao Family."

Yao Lao also transmitted his voice to him. "Little Yan, your uncle's strength is far from ordinary. With him around, no one in the Jia Ma Empire can harm you. Besides, I sensed the aura of a Dou Emperor expert in the back mountain of your home. That should be a hidden expert of your Xiao Family."

There's actually such an expert in my family!

Xiao Yan was finally completely relieved. Three years from now, he would have nothing to fear when going to the Misty Cloud Sect.

In the blink of an eye, half a month passed. During that time, a healing medicine called Spring Rejuvenation Powder suddenly appeared in the Jia Lie Clan's marketplace. The moment it appeared, it was instantly favored by countless mercenaries.

As a result, business at the Xiao Family's marketplace began to decline, and the loss of customers was severe. The Xiao Clan's upper ranks were left wracking their brains over countermeasures.

Although Xiao Yun had given the Xiao Clan quite a few good things, those items were meant for cultivation and certainly could not be sold.

However, none of this had anything to do with Xiao Yun. After today, he would be leaving Wutan City.

"Spring Rejuvenation Powder?" In the small courtyard, Xiao Yun analyzed the Xiao Family's current situation before saying, "Leave this matter to Little Yan."

Gu Xun'er, standing nearby, asked, "Tomorrow is the day Xiao Yun-ge leaves, right?"

A few days ago, Xiao Yun had told Gu Xun'er of his decision to leave the Xiao Family. At this moment, her clear, watery eyes were filled with deep reluctance.

Xiao Yun rubbed Gu Xun'er's head and said with a smile, "Xun'er, parting in life is meant to make reunions sweeter. Don't be sad. We'll meet again."

For ten years, Gu Xun'er had only been close to Xiao Yun within the Xiao Clan. Xiao Yun was also somewhat helpless when it came to this little tagalong he had watched grow up.

It took quite a while to comfort her before Gu Xun'er's mood improved considerably.

She looked at Xiao Yun and thought, The next time we meet, Xun'er will be grown up. Xiao Yun-ge, I'll give you a surprise then.

In the eastern part of the Magical Beast Mountain Range, some distance away from Wutan City, the journey was merely a few steps to Xiao Yun.

The weather today was far from friendly. The blazing sun hung high overhead, and scorching heat blanketed the land. Whenever travelers stepped on the dirt, a wave of heat shot from the soles of their feet straight to their heads.

Curses rang out continuously along the small road.

As Xiao Yun walked down the road, he glanced at the sun hanging high in the sky and thought, Perfect weather for airing out blankets.

On the other side of the eastern Magical Beast Mountain Range lay the Tagore Desert, Xiao Yun's current destination. Before heading there, however, he wanted to find someone first: the Little Doctor Fairy.

Xiao Yun was quite interested in the Little Doctor Fairy. She possessed the Calamity Poison Body, cultivated by consuming poison, and was immune to all poisons.

Leaving everything else aside, if she were allowed to cultivate freely, her cultivation speed would not be inferior even to that of a Battle Emperor bloodline.

If properly nurtured, she would become a powerful fighting force. What the Xiao Clan lacked most right now was powerful fighting strength.

Xiao Yun would not let a treasure like this girl slip away.

After walking along the road for quite some time, Xiao Yun finally arrived at a small town.

Green Mountain Town. Because it was close to the Magical Beast Mountain Range, the largest group in town consisted of mercenaries who lived with their lives on the line every day. As a result, the town's customs were exceptionally rough, and the men generally wore tattered clothing.

Xiao Yun's attire differed greatly from that of the townspeople. As he walked along the bluestone-paved streets, he drew quite a few looks.

Several of those gazes carried greed. Their owners gathered together and whispered, seemingly discussing murder and robbery.

With Xiao Yun's strength, he naturally heard the conversation nearby, but he paid it no mind and continued down the street in search of his target.

Before long, Xiao Yun finally spotted his destination in the distance: Ten Thousand Medicines Hall.

It was a medicinal herb shop. At the moment, a group of grown men had gathered at its entrance. Suddenly, the crowd stirred.

"Wow, it's actually the Little Doctor Fairy!"

"Where? Where?"

"Over there."

"It really is! The Little Doctor Fairy is so beautiful. Tsk, tsk, especially that waist of hers. It's so slim," one man said lewdly.

"You idiot, do you want to die? The Little Doctor Fairy has treated countless people in Green Mountain Town. Watch what you say, or someone may cut out your tongue!"

"I was just talking nonsense. Hahaha, hahaha." The man who had made the lewd remark noticed several hostile looks directed at him. His face paled slightly as he awkwardly fled the crowd.

As the crowd dispersed, a woman emerged from within. She wore a pale white dress and possessed a beautiful face.

A faint smile rested on her face, while an air of freshness and ethereal grace greatly enhanced her charm.

Xiao Yun's gaze wandered over the woman before finally settling curiously on the young woman's willow waist. Looking at that slender waist, barely enough to fill one hand, Xiao Yun sighed in admiration.

The finest waist on the Dou Qi Continent indeed lived up to its reputation.

Xiao Yun did not approach the Little Doctor Fairy immediately. Instead, he found an inn in town and temporarily settled down.

He kept searching for an opportunity, one where he could naturally come into contact with the Little Doctor Fairy. Yet after several days passed, no opportunity came. Instead, several ill-intentioned people kept following him.

Though he did not care much, being followed constantly still made Xiao Yun uncomfortable, especially when the ones following him were grown men.

It was also on this day that Xiao Yun took the initiative to head out of town.

The group that had been following Xiao Yun for so long was instantly delighted when they saw this.

"After following him for so long, this guy has finally left town."

"Judging by how this kid is dressed, he should be some young master from a great family out sightseeing. Once we kill him, us brothers will be living well for quite some time."

"Then we can go have fun with Cuihua again."

The casual way they spoke made it clear that this was not their first time doing such a thing.

"Enough. He's getting farther away. Hurry up and follow him."

Those fools who did not know the meaning of death followed Xiao Yun toward a secluded place.
